A new history of ecclesiastical writers containing an account of the authors of the several books of the Old and New Testament, of the lives and writings of the primitive fathers, an abridgement and catalogue of their works ... also a compendious history of the councils, with chronological tables of the whole / written in French by Lewis Ellies du Pin.

(cc) They have been cited as Books inspired by God both in the Old and New Testament.] The 105th, the 96th, and the 136th Psalms are to be found in the 16th Chapter of the First Book of Chroni∣cles, and in the 7th of the Second Book it is said, that the Priests did sing the Psalms which David had composed for the Lord, singing, For his mercy endureth for ever. This is the 136th Psalm, which is yet to be found quoted in Chapters 5, and 20, of the same Book, in the 3d of Ezrah, in the 13th of Judith, in the 33d of Jeremiah, and the 3d of Daniel, [according to their Computation, who esteem the Song of the Three Children to be part of the Canonical Scripture.] In Ecclesiasticus, ch. 47. v. 9. it is said, that David praised God with all his heart, and set Singers before the Altar, In quorum sono dulces fecit modos. I have not leisure to speak of those many passages in the Prophets which allude to several places in the Psalms. In the Second of Maccabees, ch. 2. v. 13. there is men∣tion made of the Psalms of David; St. Matthew, ch. 13. v. 35. and 27. v. 35. recites the Prophecies about our Blessed Saviour, contained in the Psalms. Jesus Christ himself cites the Psalm Dixit Domi∣nus, &c. under the name of David; and in St. Luke, ch. 24. it is said, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms concerning him: The Acts and the Epistles of the Apostles, are full of Citations out of the Psalms.
